Tubey Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I use OpenVPN on PFsense to access my shares at home while I am away. But, the shares do not ask for authentication (user name and password) like they do when I am on my LAN at home. I have a VPN username and password that logs me in but that username and password is not setup in UnRaid. I thought it would ask me for my username and password to access my shares. Is the security issue on the VPN side or UnRaid side, or do I have a lack of understanding of how shares work on a VPN? Edited October 7, 2019 by Tubey Quote Link to comment
gberg Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I guess the login username and password on the computer that are running the OpenVPN client must be the same as the username and passwod on your UNRAID, otherwise this wouldn't/shouldn't work without you being asked for credetials. Or if you were prompted for credetials the first time you accessed yoor UNRAID on the OpenVPN connected computer and selected to save the credentials, then you would not get prompted again. The OpenVPN tunnel username and password doesn't have anythig to do with this. Edited November 6, 2019 by gberg 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If there is a firewall setup to only allow connections from your local LAN you must also allow the devices from the remote LAN to connect. Quote Link to comment
Tubey Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Update: I forgot to mention that this only happens on my IPhone 7, whether on the local network or the VPN. Computers, require a login. Quote Link to comment
